In Bangkok, in the evening there are\u00a0some romantic places to have dinner. The banks of the Chao Phraya is one of them. I was invited to the Savoey Restaurant<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that just opened at Maharaj Pier<\/strong>, a new nice place that opened last April in Bangkok. And as I liked it, I share my experience with you.<\/p>\n

\"Savoey<\/p>\n

If Tha Maharaj Pier is quite a new place, it is already hosting\u00a0some events like a bicycle festival in recent days. Set on the banks of the Chao Phraya river, the place promises to be one of the new fashionable spots of Bangkok.<\/p>\n

On the second floor, far right, is the new Savoey Restaurant<\/strong> and its terrace overlooking the river. The place seems to be a wonderful spot to watch\u00a0beautiful sunsets even if a cloud was masking the sun\u00a0the night I was there. There is also an air conditioned room but it would be a shame to come here and not enjoy the terrace.<\/p>\n

Once night falls, the bulb garlands and the scenic view over\u00a0the Chao Phraya river create a really nice atmosphere. We are still in Bangkok but in a lot\u00a0more romantic Bangkok \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

On the\u00a0menu, you have a wide choice of Thai dishes\u00a0and they really look tasty on the pictures. Savoey has a very good reputation and there is no reason why this new restaurant will make an exception.<\/p>\n

We ordered different dishes (I give the names like they are witten on the menu so\u00a0you can\u00a0try the same ones when you come)<\/em>: one “deep-fried snapper in green curry served with Thai rice noodle”, my favorite, “stir-fried prawns with sea salt and fresh chilli rock” and\u00a0the “special-baked pineapple fried rice”, one of their signature dishes. I almost forgot, we also took a Tom Yum, a iconic dish of Thai cuisine.<\/p>\n

The average price for a dish is\u00a0around 250-300 THB and 470 THB\u00a0for the fish. We shared everything in the middle of the table so everyone can enjoy every dish. Add a\u00a0Singha for everyone and you\u00a0arrive at a total\u00a0of 320 baht per person. It is a very good price for the food and the view quality \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Personally, I prefer to come eat here than going to the very busy Asiatique The Riverfront<\/a>. The place\u00a0is much more intimate, romantic and the view is much nicer !<\/p>\n

Note: for Muay Thai lovers, in a short time a thai boxing room will open right above the restaurant. So you can come, have\u00a0a romantic dinner followed or preceded with Thai Boxing.<\/em><\/p>\n

How to get to Savoey Restaurant<\/h2>\n

Tha Maharaj where the restaurant is located is just behind Wat Mahathat. From Wat Phra Kaew<\/a> and the Grand Palace, it is\u00a0less than a 10 minutes\u00a0walk.<\/p>\n

If you come from further away, you can take a\u00a0tuk-tuk or a taxi directly from where you are or from a BTS or MRT station like Hua Lamphong\u00a0(then 100 THB by taxi)<\/em>. Tell them to take you to “Tha Marahaj”<\/strong><\/em>. Otherwise, you can take the Chao Phraya Express or Chao Phraya Tourist boats. They all stop here but remember that\u00a0service\u00a0stops at 8 pm on week days and 7 pm on weekends and holidays).<\/p>\n

The place just opened so it is not mandatory\u00a0to book a table before coming but it’s better to call anyway. I’m sure Tha Marahaj\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>will become increasingly popular and the restaurant crowded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
